Ran across this guy's youtube channel. He really knows his shit. The vid is a bit long but it's a must watch if you love the sweet science. Shows a lot of Mayweather's art but also shows a lot of the technical things that Maidana did. This should be a real eye opener for people who think Maidana was just a wild brawler in those fights... they obviously studied a lot of the Mayweather habits and did some good work exploiting them at times.

Dont know who that guy is, but that is an excellent dissection. He knows his technical boxing.
That there is a bit of a class in how to fight Pac, by the way (short of actually pushing him back). The key is to control distance, discourage him from attacking and then break him up.
Great video that.
For sure, and you have to assume that if this Youtube guy could figure all this out (no disrespect to him), a guy like Roach, Garcia, and pretty much every other trainer that has gone up against Mayweather had figured it out as well. I guess it's much easier to figure it out than to do something about it. But Maidana really did a great job in stifling Mayweather in the first fight.
